I understand the storage space on your Mac is full or nearly full. Refer to Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support.


Optimize storage space on your Mac - Apple Support also offers some suggestions.


If you determine that the "System Data" category is occupying an inexplicably large amount of storage, refer to See used and available storage space on your Mac - Apple Support. Pay particular attention to the description of System Data.
